The actress exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony on the grounds of her home on Vancouver Island, Canada, after falling in love with Dan Hayhurst during the coronavirus lockdown.
Speaking to HELLO! Pamela said: "I am in love. I was married on the property I bought from my grandparents 25 years ago, this is where my parents were married and they are still together. I feel like I’ve come full circle."

The coronavirus pandemic meant that Pamela and Dan couldn't have a large wedding day, however, it turns out that this arrangement suited them well. Pamela admitted: "We prefer to be ourselves," but did add: "With both our families’ blessing, everyone we know is happy for us."

The arrangement, loosely wrapped in dusty blue tulle, was inspired by the estate’s coastal landscape. Along with a blue hydrangea, echoing the ocean, they added an "olive branch for peace, roses for romantic love, exotic orchid for passionate love and baby’s breath to represent new beginnings."
